Lemondropkid Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the pics😀 What's an ice cold beer by the beach setting back? Would be good if you have the time to get thoughts on nightlife, transport and things to do. Refreshing to hear about places outside of LOS.

lazarus Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 There's a good local bus system in Da Nang that I used to sight see around the city. Cheap fares and interesting routes. Saves the feet a bit and if I remember right...air conditioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 main routes from the beach area don't run anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycoll Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Ok. When I stay in Danang I stay by the beach. It is a long beach but as a tourist there is a 2km stretch which is where most people stay. The northern end is centered around Ha Bong street. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycoll Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 If you like your sports the only bars that show sports are in the An Thoung area. But this is nothing like Pattaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycoll Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 I am going there for a few 55000 dong 500ml beers. A rule of thumb is one baht equals 700 dong. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycoll Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 After leaving there and staying at the An Thoung end of the beach I went to the Shamrock bar in search of food and sports. I had a chicken Parma, 175000 Dong and a 330ml bottle of Larue for 45000 Dong. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycoll Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 One last observation. Getting to and from the airport. Sometimes they will use the meter and sometimes not. Getting away from the airport is tricky. It is roughly 140000 dong to the beach hotels by meter. This time the first guy wanted 700000 dong. After a bit of fucking around I shared a taxi with another guy for 200000 dong. My advice is book with your hotel. Or walk to the Domestic terminal where they are not so greedy, or book a Grab. Getting to the airport is easy. Last trip the reception booked me a Grab for 61000 dong. This time I walked out and found a taxi who put his meter on first time. 120000 dong. I am now in Nha Trang until Friday. Airport bus, 65000 dong. Took about an hour. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycoll Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 A lot of small scale construction going on. These one's are within 100 metres of my hotel. Lucky not noisy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
